Personally I would prefer to use one of the standard Perl web frameworks (Dancer, Mojolicious or Catalyst). Dancer is the most minimal, but all 3 have a fair number of dependencies. Your requirements may be simple now, but these things have a way of growing, and you may then find that your lightweight choice will suffer growing pains.

One low-level option, if you really insist on it, is HTTP::Daemon. That's a subclass of IO::Socket::IP, which means you can play with sockets directly if you choose to. If you don't want to use the module directly, its source code might give you some inspiration.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
